Does anyone know off the top of thier head what Feed rear\'s can accommodate width wise?

I would like 11" with 315 tyres, will the feed fenders hold these?

anyone recommend a good set of alloys im thinking 10 for fronts

think you`ll struggle with 10`s on the front dude.( you might get them under archs but will handle pants) presuming you`ll be using feed fronts too. they only add about 25mm to the arch width. you`ll get 11 on the rear just get th right offset.

I have 18"x9" with 265\'s and there is stacks of room!
Have a look at RotorStock.

I have 18x9.5 at the back with no arches :)

Thing is it would be a rather expensive mistake, if i ....ed up :-/

315 on a 11" rim, maybe?
265 on a 9.5 on the fronts?

Any fenders anyone else can think off that would look ok, would rather not resort to petit rears,

Speak to Feed USA, http://www.fujitaengineeringusa.com/ , they should be able to advise?

you can fit 10.5 on the rear with 275 tyres , standard archs except rolled. feed extend rears by 25 mm ( approx 1 ")  so 11.5 with 305 tires will go. just get right offset

I have 10" all round with 255\'s. The rear could certainly accept a wider rim/tyre but it doesn\'t need it.

I think 10" on the front is a little too much - 9" would be better - although I\'ve had my geometry set up to compensate (as much as possible).

How much did you find it affected the overall drive?
 In terms of normal, street driving?
 
I\'d love 9s on the front, just a bit wary of making it annoying to drive...after it\'s been good now!

should fit piece of cake, i run 285 on the rear with the arches rolled and 255 on the front with the same. Never once caught the lip or bottomed out ( but thats due to my bodyshop )

It\'s a bit difficult for me to answer that as this is the only RX I\'ve had, so I\'ve not experienced any other setup! However, before I had the alignment done, it tramlined like crazy! It\'s 100 times better now though (Chris Wilson did the geometry), but I\'m sure a narrower wheel/tyre combo would be even better still, for road driving anyway. Chris seemed to suggest it was the offset as much as the width that causes problems - but he is the expert on such things!!

I\'d say if you want to go wider, don\'t go more than 9" at the front. That\'s in my "not expert" opinion!
